Norma K Hemming Shortlist 2015

The Australian Science Fiction Foundation has announced the shortlist for the 2015 Norma K Hemming Award. The award is given to works that focus on topics of race, gender, sexuality, class and disability in speculative fiction. This year’s list is fairly varied. The only work I was not aware of is Paddy O’Reilly’s, though the more I think about it I may have seen him her interviewed on the Book Show. Booktopia have some signed copies here, if you are quick.

EDIT: Paddy O’Reilly is actually a woman. My apologies to the author who I obviously hadn’t heard of.
